Cathy, this is a powerful post. The power of whimsy is undeniable when it's presented through your clear-eyed writing. Thank you for taking me on this unexpected journey.
I think you proved that! I just restacked a post by an author who questioned if activism through protesting made any difference at all, even when there are millions of people showing up. https://jennifergranville.substack.com/p/my-so-called-activism
Interesting post - thank you! I think it does make a difference. No matter what, these protests will always be a part of history, leaving a record of the full story, and that is important.
Cathy, Your conclusion is powerful! I've never consideres whimsy as a way to discuss endangered species, but you're so right! I feel sad for the two remaining rhinos.
Awww…thank you, Jamie! I love seeing everyone interacting with these animals - a playground for all ages. Maybe this setting gives adults permission to embrace their inner child. It’s an added gift, and not one I had thought about. Thank you for mentioning it! 💕
Thank you, Paulette! The urban landscape is no match for the extraordinary beauty of nature, but it does hold surprises and I love stumbling upon them. 😉

Thank you, Marta! When serious subjects are approached with lightness and fun, we tend to listen better. I'm so happy to know you enjoyed this!

Very true. And I think protests do make a difference. Maybe not in policy like we want, but they do make a difference.
Raising our voices and being heard is very important, no matter what. 💕

Those rhinos…so unbelievably sad! The artwork takes something so far away and makes it local. Thank you so much for sharing your impression, Sandra!
I love seeing the city - and life! - through your eyes. What wonderful works of art - appealing to the child in all of us.

I truly enjoy you taking us on your walks, showing us your corner of the world, and introducing us to new art and the artists behind it.
I also appreciate your insight into how art can increase awareness of more significant issues.

You make the urban landscape come alive!

How wonderful! So perfect that they are placed around so that you happen upon them.
It's such a pleasant surprise to find them!
